India, July 24 -- A total of 112 Air India pilots went on medical leave four days after a Boeing 787-Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad, killing 260 people, junior Aviation Minister Murlidhar Mohol said Thursday.

Mohol told Parliament 51 Commanders and 61 Flight Officers put in leave requests on that day, stating the need to recognise and manage pilots' mental health, particularly after a crash.

He said airlines and airport authorities were also instructed to introduce "standalone and customised training capsules" for flight crew and air traffic controllers to manage potential mental health problems.
